Fire up WinBox and see if you can access it via MAC address.

If it's like most Mikrotik routers, with the default configuration, port 1 will be configured as the WAN port and everything else connected in a bridge. CRS switches has different default configuration. All ports bridged, and, if I remember correctly, a static IP assigned to that bridge. So much fo...

k6ccc

If it's like most Mikrotik routers, with the default configuration, port 1 will be configured as the WAN port and everything else connected in a bridge. Therefore, all ports EXCEPT port 1 should be able to function as if it was a dumb switch. Make sure you are not trying to use port 1 until you chan...

Run your HDMI over Ethernet in Unicast rather than multicast - provided that the hardware is capable of that. Solves your multicast flood if it's not running multicast..

Is there anything else you would like to recommend.

What SwitchOS version?

I just looked at my one CRS326 (running SwitchOS version 2.12) and it is configured for static IP, but I can do a test without too much difficulty. The only connection to that switch from the rest of my network is via one VLAN trunk..

k6ccc

I would lose access to it every time I got the device partway configured. Likely your fault. For example, if you change the IP subnet of the device, of course you are going to lose connection to it - until you change the IP of your computer. Although I don't normally use it, Webfig works just fine....

k6ccc

My only sadness now is that I bought this device thinking it was ddwrt/openwrt/tomato compatible.

In other words, you bought something other than what you are looking for, and then are bitching that it does not work the way you wanted. Frankly, I am VERY glad that it is no ddwrt compatible.

k6ccc

You can use Webfig which is a web interface similar to WinBox, or you can use a Telnet or preferably SSH session to configure it with a text based interface. If you are on a MAC, apparently there is a way to run WinBox on a MAC, but I don't use a MAC, so I have no details. If you are on linux, you s...

k6ccc

No, you do not need to set port mirroring. The out of the box config will work for you, although as Phillip said, you likely will want to set the IP configuration.
And correct, no point in paying extra for the PoE that you likely won't be using.

k6ccc

You did not say which Mikrotik you are using. For the purpose, you should have a switch, not a router. If you are using a router, you are going to need to provide us with a drawing (or a really good description - drawing is better) of your network layout, and a export of your router configuration in...

k6ccc

Well, you're right - each session required a separate logon. That is a bit surprising...
I don't normally use WebFig - either SSH or generally Winbox.

The original poster said that he has two CRS125 routers and two passive POE injectors running on 24 volts.

k6ccc

The original poster said that he has two CRS125 routers and two passive POE injectors running on 24 volts. My original and followup suggestions was to run both the routers and the POE injectors off the same 24 volt battery plant.

k6ccc

Is there such a thing but with ethernet inputs/outputs to go in between regular injectors and devices? Would make things a bit simpler

Use your existing POE injectors, but power if from a 24 volt battery plant. Use the same thing to power the routers. Much easier than any sort of UPS.

k6ccc

Running the devices directly off a battery plant would be better. Ideally with redundant battery chargers to protect you in case a battery charger fails. Easier if all the devices can operate off the same voltage. And there is no switching time upon AC power failure - only the battery chargers stop ...

k6ccc

If one was proactive and wanted to be more aggressive one would log all entry attempts on port 8291 on input chain and block those IPs for all ports on raw chain.

That's what I do...

k6ccc

No real point in installing the IPv6 package if you are not going to use it (neither do I).

k6ccc

No, I do not normally use the port isolation capability - just different VLANs to keep things apart. On your port 1, on the VLAN tab, change VLAN mode to disabled and VLAN Receive to Only untagged. Off hand, I suspect that the switch is trying to send VLAN tagged traffic to your client PC - which li...

k6ccc

SwitchOS handles VLANs just fine. I am using multiple VLANs on all of my switches. Most of my ports are not VLAN tagged - but are assigned to a VLAN, but there is at least one VLAN trunk port, and several of the switches have one or more other ports that are VLAN tagged. Based on the hosts tab, you ...

k6ccc

Different log on accounts for the computer that is running WinBox?

What are you trying to accomplish?

k6ccc

It will involve setting up a bridge, but I don't use any bridges in my routers, so I can't help you much. The Ethernet port and the WLAN need to be in a bridge, but that's about my limit on bridges.

k6ccc

I can't help you at all with your problem, but for future reference, a more useful message subject would be helpful. For example: I need help with VMware esxi

k6ccc

If I'm understanding your question, it is doing what it's supposed to. From the Wiki:

The configuration restore can be used for restoring the router's configuration, exactly as it was at the backup creation moment, from a backup file.

k6ccc

Hmmm, interesting. You are right, not there..

k6ccc

Both methods work. The one accept all DST-NATted is certainly the easy route, but I wanted him to know why his rules did not work right - in other words, he might learn something. The other part is that there are times where you have a need to either not use the one accept rule, or to not use it for...

k6ccc

However, there is a major bug with the current release version of swOS not working with VLANS properly, which makes them unviable for anything except a lab setting. I would advise waiting until 2.13 is officially released. Oh really? Don't tell my six Mikrotik switches that are all running 2.12, an...

k6ccc

Two of your code segments. The first is you DST Nat rules. I am going to assume that the first one (the port 80 TCP) is really like the port 80 UDP, but got mangled in the export and paste. Assuming that is true, those rules are fine. add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat comment="NGINX Proxy Port Fo...

k6ccc

And to answer part two of your original question, yes the default firewall rules are fairly good for most purposes. If you are replacing a consumer grade router with a Mikrotik, the default configuration will work just fine. When you want to allow other stuff (such as your SSH question) is where the...

k6ccc

That's a fairly old version of RouterOS. Just a stab in the dark. Update to a current version of RouterOS and see if the command to switch to SwitchOS is there.

k6ccc

There is traffic from my PC. So let's check the browser page. (Chrome has the developers tools built in).
And the browser is checking upgrade.microsoft .com to fill in this page. The switch is not initiating a request.

Ain't that interesting...

k6ccc

The only thing with this "answer with src IP and src MAC as destination" mechanism is that the switch cannot initiate a connection to something outside the own subnet, as it does not have a clue on the gateway to use. But I see no process that initiates a connection from the switch (like ...

k6ccc

I have not found a situation where I could not access any of my switches. At the very least, the computer is on a different VLAN than the switch is listening on, so traffic is going through a router or two to get there and it always finds its way back. This computer has an IP on my .101 LAN. Althoug...

If you are happy with the CSS326-24G-2S+, I would get another one. Extra ports are always useful. Amazing how ports can get used in the future.

k6ccc

That was going to be my guess - old version of WinBox.
Glad you got it resolved.

iPhones are doing the same thing with a recent update. At least on the iPhone you can turn it off for a specific WiFi connection.

Yeah, seems like I'll have to give up on this idea. I'd hoped to just jam the coax to my ethernet plug, and maybe punch in some PPPoE credentials manually or something, but yeah I'm forgetting that there's more to it than just whether it fits in the slot or not. That would be about like thinking yo...

k6ccc

I group all my chains together. As noted before, the router does not care, but it makes it far easier for the poor human being that has to read it - that would be me. You can also create any other chains that you want. Speeds up processing if you can jump to a different chain for one certain type of...

k6ccc

I would agree, configure the EeroMesh device that has a wired connection simply as an access point, an let the MT handle the router functions.

k6ccc

God, I hope so! I am running VLANs on every one of my Mikrotik switches. I have five MT switches here at home, and lots of VLANs. I would hate to find that what I have been doing for years doesn't work :)

k6ccc

Not following what you are trying to accomplish. Can you draw a picture of what you want to do?

k6ccc

Keep in mind that really the only thing you would do via MAC Winbox is to enable proper ways of accessing the router. Think of it as an "Ah crap, I messed up, let me fix my screwup".

k6ccc

The 100Mb/s sounds suspicious. Check the connection speed on the laptop. Could be a cable issue. Gigabit normally requires all four pairs whereas 10Base-T and 100Base-T only uses two of the pairs.

How about asking a question. The subject is so vague, and other than that, you don't tell us what you are trying to do, or what you need help with.

k6ccc

Not in SwitchOS.

k6ccc

I changed my laptop's IP to static 192.168.88.2, and was able to log into the switch, but as soon as I tried to change switch IP to 192168.1.58, I lost connection. That would be correct. As soon as you changed the IP on the switch to 192.168.1.58, your PC can no longer access the switch until you c...

k6ccc

It is a bug/shortcoming in RouterOS. When you add a new package, the default configuration for that package is not applied. Workaround: always enable IPv6 as first thing when you receive a new router, then update to the newest RouterOS version, and then reset to factory defaults. When you do the re...

k6ccc

Nope. Doing so would likely release the magic smoke that makes all electronics work. Combining transmitters into a single antenna can be done, but it's not something that is plug and play - or inexpensive.

Can I assume "Big Sur" is a name for a recent Mac OS? I don't speak Mac.

If that is the case, don't hold your breath. Mikrotik has never supported Mac OS, and appears that they have no interest in doing so.

I use switches exclusively as switches and I use routers exclusively as routers - the two functions do not cross.

There's a version of OS available which has everything you want. It's called ROS. Yes, ROS device can be configured as a switch, doesn't have to be router.

If it is still on a factory config, it will be 192.168.88.1. If you changed it, you need to point your browser to the address that you changed it to.

k6ccc

Look at ACL rules. I've never used them so I can't give you examples, but MAC filtering is in the options.

k6ccc

The only aspect I don't like, is the fact that you lose access to the switch from any port that is not routed by the specified VLAN (10 in my scenario). Because if my upstream router dies or is misconfigured, I also lose access to the switch. I guess that my next purchase will have a console port ;...

k6ccc

Can you hook up the switch to something that will provide a DHCP address (usually your router). Then look at the DHCP server to see what address was assigned. Then try to go to that address.with a web browser.

k6ccc

I don't have that switch, but am very familiar with SwitchOS. What you are reporting does not make a lot of sense. BTW, I suspect you typoed something in your description because the DHCP range for VLAN 2 does not include the switch management address. However, I suspect that was a fat finger item.....

I can confirm it as well in 3.27 64 bit version. However, you are going to need to put something in that field regardless of what defaults there, so this is not really much of an issue.

if any of the hosts have open ports (a web, ftp, or mail server for example), you can send tcp pickets to those ports and get a response. Most monitoring services can check for all sorts of ports. And this approach makes a lot of sense, because a response to a ping tells you nothing more than that ...

k6ccc

Nope. icmp does not have ports (unlike udp and tcp), so all you get is IP. If you have multiple public IPs, you can have each public IP NAT to a different host, but if you only have one public IP, you only get one. Now with that said, if any of the hosts have open ports (a web, ftp, or mail server f...

Yep. If you have only one public IP, you can only ping one host.

I just set this up on one of my routers. This is working fine.

k6ccc

You are almost there. Add the In Interface, and on the Action tab, set for DST NAT and tell what IP to send it to.

k6ccc

Correct, icmp does not have ports.

k6ccc

You're not giving a lot of information. It looks OK on the CSS326 as long as the other end is configured to initiate the LACP.
Also, what SwOS version are you running?

k6ccc

No different than any other NAT except the Protocol is icmp instead of the more common tcp or udp - I ran one for a specific purpose a while back.

k6ccc

I don't remember seeing any mention of it in any updates. Push really comes to shove, I likely could test in here.

k6ccc

Same here. My password was invalid - it said. Used the "I forgot my password" link. "reset" my password to what it has been before - 4 capital letters, 4 lower case letters, 7 special characters, and 1 number - cryptic crap generated by my password manager.

What do you mean that you deleted the MAC and the series (or was that supposed to be Serial?). You as a user do not have the ability to change either of those fields from the GUI, a...

k6ccc

Make sure that you have either a firewall rule that allows that port in the forward chain or a rule that allows anything DSTNAT forwarded to be accepted in the forward chain.
Creating a port forward does NOT automatically allow that through the firewall (unless you have a allow anything DSTNAT rule).

Not enough detail. What are you trying to accomplish?

k6ccc

I only looked at a few of them, but it looks like you have set up a NAT with logging enabled. In that case, there will be a log entry for every packet. Turn off logging on your NAT.

Let me see if I have this right. You add firewall rules to detect and stop port scanners, then you complain that it does exactly what you asked it to do (stop a port scanner). If you want to do a port scan to see what might be open, yes, you will need to disable your port scanner blocker rules while...

k6ccc

I don't believe that is correct. Optional will allow either untagged or tagged packets, but you still need to tell the switch what VLANs are on which port. At least that is my understanding (and my observation for ports that I have set to optional). I just did a test. I have WiFi access points that ...

My strong suspicion is that the IPTV is using a VLAN and the "normal" computer internet is untagged. That way, if you plug a computer into it, it understands the untagged traffic. The TV box is set up to look for a VLAN so it is happy too. Assuming that is the case, you will need to set up...

k6ccc

Knowing virtually nothing about IPTV (other than what I have read on this forum), are all four ports on the ISP router usable for either internet or TV, or are there specific ports for each?

Most dumb switches will handle VLAN tagged traffic because they will simply ignore the VLAN tagging, and pass them along. Most smart switches understand what a VLAN tag is and process them, and then handle them as such. Sorry for the torch reference - I had RouterOS in mind when you said you were ru...

k6ccc

If I were to hazard a guess, the IPTV is likely using a VLAN for connectivity. Using Torch on the ports that the TV boxes are on may shed some light.

k6ccc

You are wanting to operate very similar to my RB750Gr3 - it is strictly used as a router and all switch functions are handled by a separate switch (CSS326-24G-2S in my case).

I don't run hotspot, so I can't help, but I get the idea.

k6ccc

You are really close. As soon as a new device sends a packet, the switch learns the MAC of that device and stores that and what port it was on in it's hosts table. As long as the device does not move to another port it will remember where it is (it should have a timeout in there). As long as the MAC...

If you look my first screen capture, under Open Mesh #1, you will see that VLAN receive mode is set to "Any", and the default VLAN ID is set to "201". That means that port 1 will receive either VLAN tagged or untagged traffic, and that inbound untagged traffic will be assigned to...

k6ccc

By default, a Mikrotik router will router whenever it can. In other words, unless you block it with a firewall rule, it will happily route between VLANs. In each chain, the router will start at the top of the firewall rules in that chain, and keep processing rules until it finds a rule that matches,...

I am taking it that you mean that it is logging you back out of the router as soon as you log in. Can you connect to the node via WebFig or a terminal window and look at the log and see if that gives a clue what is happening?

k6ccc

OK, I have never given that any thought because I have never used MAC WinBox. How do you block MAC WinBox - either completely or selectively? Since it's not IP, the IP firewall and ports rules do not apply.

k6ccc

When the whole concept of SFPs came about, the concept was that they would be universally compatible. However reality is that some work and some do not. This is not at all unique to Mikrotik. Simple answer it to buy the SFPs that the device manufacturer recommends. They have tested them and know wha...

Originally you were trying to forward to a different address in addition to a different port. DST-NAT would be appropriate for that. However as sutrus said, it's different if you are only changing ports.

k6ccc

Your action should be DST-NAT - not Netmap.

k6ccc

I'm a little curious how many routes you have, that it can't display in WinBox. I just looked at my RB750 and there are 29 routes of which 12 are static.

k6ccc

There are several ways that vary in convenience and security. Preface: I DO NOT RECOMMEND the first couple!!! The absolute simplest is to allow WinBox or WebFig access via your internet connection <-- NOT RECOMMENDED A couple things you can do that somewhat improve the security of that. Use of a non...

First of all, what chain does what. Traffic that is destined to something on the router itself (Winbox, SSH to the router, etc) is affected by the INPUT chain. Traffic that is destined to something other than the router but has to be routed through the router (A PC accessing a web page, etc) is affe...

Dot1x is used when we have mikrotik switch .

Can you clarify that. Do you really mean mikrotik SWITCH or ROUTER?
I don't see anything in SwitchOS to support 802.1x

k6ccc

On my moderately quick read, my initial suspicion appears to be right. Your source NAT is specifying that all outbound traffic from the LAN to the internet use the .140 address. For the one service that is destination NATed using the .141 address, when your server replies, it is also going out via t...

Glenn, I have a script that does essentially exactly what you want. I fully admit that I got most of the script from a post here several years ago and modified it for my own purposes. In my case, I am checking for login, logout, login failure, and several port knock conditions. The script writes a c...

k6ccc

Based on the rather limited information that you gave, it would appear that all you outbound traffic is going to use your .140 address. That would mean that traffic to your .141 address is going come back to the origination from a different address (the .140 address), so the external source is going...

I had to Google "Private VLAN" to see what you were talking about - never heard that term before. The thread on VLAN setup likely does not mention "Private VLAN" because PVLAN really has nothing to do with VLANs. A so called PVLAN is using switch port isolation in order to sort o...

k6ccc

Honest opinion, do it in firewall rules rather than your route rule. The reason is that one of these days, you are going to want to allow something to get between LANs. For example you may want that one PC on one network to be able to communicate with one device on the other network. Much easier to ...

k6ccc

duplicate post (sorry).

k6ccc

I'm going to preface this with I am not the expert here as I do not do any switch functions in my routers (routers only route, and switches do all the switching). However, If I followed it right, you are sending VLAN tagged traffic to the printers and they have no idea what to do with VLAN tags.

k6ccc

You largely need a router to accomplish what you are trying to do. Here's the problem. When you put both VLANs onto a single port (the NAS for example), the data stream from the switch to the NAS will have all the traffic VLAN tagged. Since your NAS presumably is not capable (or at least not configu...

As for managed list, I tried it and got nowhere - bad password. I fear I played with ROMON in the past and I have an old password so locked out? So what should one do if one cannot remember whatever master password was set in winbox?? I have never used RoMON, and I do not have WinBox save passwords...

Are you trying to "find" the router by expecting it to show up in the neighbors list or did you save the IP in the Managed list? Personally I find that the neighbors list to be only slightly less useful than worthless. For example I opened it when I read this message. There are two Mikroti...

That is a very simple setup. Easiest way to explain it is to show you screen captures of one of mine.

Input Chain only affects traffic that terminates in the router itself. Forward Chain affects traffic that passes through the router (what you are trying to do). Output chain affects traffic that originates in the router itself and is outbound to someplace else.. You can make all the rules in the wor...

Can't help you on the bonding part (never done that), but VLANs are a piece of cake in either RouterOS or SwitchOS. As for routing between VLANs, RouteOS will automatically do that unless you specifically exclude that in firewall rules.

k6ccc

That is easy, and fairly close to what I am doing with my CSS326 switch. First the VLAN tab: http://extraphotos.info/mikrotik/CSS_VLAN_for_gelcom.png I skipped a few ports so you would not need to figure out other stuff. Port 1 is my cable internet and gets assigned as VLAN 100. Port 9 is my DSL int...

When you are able to get into it, on the system tab, check the status of the first two lines: Address Acquisition, and Static IP Address.

k6ccc

One other addition. Keep all the rules in a particular chain together rather than mixing input, forward, output, whatever else you might add later. It does not make any difference to the router, but it makes it FAR easier for us human beings to read.

NAT is actually very easy. Here is the command for NAT for my web server: add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat comment="Web Server on Jupiter." \ dst-address-type=local dst-port=80 protocol=tcp to-addresses=\ 192.168.101.11 to-ports=80 Then in Firewall rules, an accept for either that specific ...

Step one - stop using QuickSet. QuickSet sort of can be used one time for an initial setup (ONLY IF YOU REALLY NEED TO), but as soon as you make ANY other change to the router config, then NEVER AGAIN touch QuickSet.

I agree with anav. Let the hex do all the routing and DHCP, and use the hAPs strictly as access points. Use different VLANs to keep things apart as needed.

k6ccc

You really should not have two DHCP servers that are supplying IP addresses to the same LAN. Two DHCP servers feeding different LANs (or VLANs) is expected, but not on the same LAN. If for some reason you REALLY think that you need two DHCP servers on the same LAN, make sure that their address pools...

At the absolute least, restrict access to the router itself from WAN port. Start by reading this secti...

k6ccc

Anav is right. Both your switches are SwitchOS only and therefore they are configured exclusively via the web GUI. BTW, I have several CSS326 and a CSS106 (and another of it's predecessor the RB260GS) and they work quite well as a managed VLAN switch.

k6ccc

I have the /30 setup correctly. Traffic moves through the router. On the other hand, I am not planning on using public IP addresses for everything. I want to have two separate lans eventually, each using a separate public IP address. With a /30 CIDR, you only have two available addresses - one is f...

Although not entirely what you describe, but most of my switches have one trunk port to somewhere else with all VLANs appearing tagged, and some number of untagged ports (in quite a few cases only one other port) on a particular VLAN.

There already is "/tool ip-scan" which scans using ping, arp, snmp and netbios and does IP lookup in DNS. Maybe you can specify what other features you would want it to have? (like other services it should scan for, or to have a list of ports) There have been a bunch of various posts, but...

WinBox is fine. Forward chain is a normal chain in the firewall rules - not on the NAT tab (which will normally be srcnat and dstnat).

k6ccc

Lookup hairpin NAT.

k6ccc

You gave us so little information that it is hard to help. For example, you showed that some pings worked - but no information on what was being pinged or from where. If you are allowing only untagged traffic on the test port, why are you allowing more than one LAN on that port?

You are making your life a bit more complex than it needs to be. Your rules 16 - 20 are completely un-needed because rule 21 is going to drop all of that anyway.

As for getting a new IP from the DHCP server, assuming you are using DHCP reservations in the DHCP server, simply give the MAC for the switch a new IP. Next time that the switch requests a new IP, it will get the new address. Nothing to do in SwitchOS. Obviously this is not instantaneous, but the sw...

Yes, out of the box, all ports will talk to each other. To keep from using an IP address, you could give it a static IP outside your IP range. But are you REALLY that short of IP addresses on your LAN?

My first guess is that your forwarding rule is not specific enough. For example, if you forward all port 443 traffic to something, then ALL traffic including your outbound https traffic will go there. On the other hand, it you only forward port 443 traffic that is inbound on your WAN connection, the...

For what it's worth, I just updated a CRS326-24G-2S+, two CSS326-24G-2S+, and a CSS106-5G-1S from 2.9 to 2.10 without incident. Watching pings to the CRS, I dropped three pings during the restart, and on both CSS326 switches, I dropped one ping during the restart.

What you are asking about is very similar to what I am doing. The only difference is that I am using my routers (a RB750r2 and a RB750Gr3) exclusively as routers - no switching at all.

Amm0 is correct. Essentially what I currently have is what dadoremix suggested. While that does allow VLAN 2 to communicate between ports 2 - 5, but that does not allow for the additional parts of the plan. I will be working with Amm0's suggestions shortly.
